Hi! My name is Doreen. I'm an illustrator and merchandise designer from the Netherlands. I've been running roundbirbart since 2020, creating merchandise of everyone's favorite birds. We've made many different types of merchandise, including two different plushie runs, ROUND lovebird plushies and ROUND conure plushies. By popular request, we are now launching our BackerKit campaign to get our new ROUND cockatiel & budgie plushies made. Thank you for checking them out!
These budgie and cockatiel plushies stand at a height of approximately 23cm or 12 inches, similar to the lovebird and conure plushies from our previous campaigns.
Details
Each plushie is detailed with high-quality embroidery on the eyes and the wings. These plushies are weighted, which makes them good at sitting upright without toppling over. The cockatiel plushies have stuffed 3D crest feathers, making them super squishy and fidgety. The budgies will be made in both male (blue cere) and female (pink cere) variants!

The cockatiels have squishy 3D crest feathers!
Material
The plushies are made from a soft and stretchy minky fabric, also known as mochi minky. It's an exceptionally soft and stretchy fabric, and very huggable!
Certificates
The plushies will undergo rigorous testing to meet CE and ASTM standards, guaranteeing not only quality but also child safety.
In addition to the plushies, this campaign also features enamel pins! They will be hard enamel, gold plated, and about 3cm / a little over 1" in size.
Tea cockatiel and slushie budgie feature stained glass details. Cookie cockatiel features transparent enamel, and raindrop budgie will have pearlescent powder in the cloud.
In addition to these new pins, you're also able to pick my existing cockatiel and budgie pins as rewards in this campaign.
Shipping is collected during the survey, after the campaign is over. Make sure to budget in the estimated shipping cost! We can ship to most countries, including the UK. Rewards will ship from the Netherlands.
If there are no delays, the plushies are expected to arrive at my office in September. Plushies will be quality checked by me before the shipping process starts. Then, shipping will take approximately 2 weeks. Shipping times tend to vary a lot, and can generally take anywhere between a week up to two months. All shipments will come with tracking. Dutch shipments will be sent with PostNL. International shipments are sent through either Deutsche Post or PostNL.
VAT & Taxes
The rewards will ship from my office in the Netherlands. This means that if you're from the EU, VAT is already included in your pledge, so you won't be surprised with a VAT bill upon receiving your package.
Please keep in mind that for countries outside of the EU, I do not have insight or control on if you will be charged additional taxes upon receiving your rewards.
